The Lost Korea Blogs: Superman Returns
Last night was awesome. I told my fellow KSI participants in Taejon that we should go to the movies. After all, we were going to see Superman Returns (which came out the same day here in Korea as in the US). There was so much hype building up to this movie that it could be a colossal flop or super success. All I knew was when I saw the preview in the theaters a month ago, I knew that this movie had to be AWESOME. You ever get that vibe from a movie trailer? (Well I got that vibe again from the Spiderman 3 trailer)
The night started out with us walking around campus trying to find each other. Once we found each other we took a cab. Again we walked around to find the cab and once we found the cab, we spend couple minutes trying to figure how to correctly say Primus in Korean. (Okay, so there was a lot of finding things)
Once we got to the place where the move theater was to supposed to be we walked around lost. We finally took the elevator up to the movie theater. It was so different. You have to get a ticket and wait for your number to be called. There was no rush or lines. Also, you select your seat when you buy your ticket. (A great way to avoid those crazy lines in American movie theaters and people saving seats for their friends. You know how you go to the movies you can only find enough seats for everyone except for one person in your group to sit together. None of those experiences in Korea.)
And the movie food and drinks were cheap. Like $3 for nachos and a soda. It was wonderful. Once we got in and started to watch the movie I was blown away. Superman impressed me with its visual effects and picture. It should get Best Picture because the power in the picture was that good. It made the okay plot actually seem good. (Yes, this blog is dated. I know Superman was SO 2 months ago)
After the movie we walked around Taejon. Now, in Korea everybody is out at night relaxing and shooting the breeze. I don't think people sleep here. After walking around for awhile, we saw chicken and beer place. They setup our table on the sidewalk and we waited for them to bring us fried chicken and beer (I had a coke because you know I am addicted to soda).
The FRIED CHICKEN WAS AWESOME! There was this spicy bbq sauce with the chicken. We even had a bucket to put our bones. Nothing like watching a great movie, and sitting down afterwards eating fried chicken and talking politics. Made me miss home.
